    Do you play with a stiff shaft or a more bendy one?

    Does having a stiff one effect performance? or does the speed of it effect how bendy it should be?

    theyre all straight, just a case of whether they should be bendy and whether it effects my performance.

    Irons are usually stiff but woods tend to have some flexibility.

    When I'm driving one up there I go stiff especially when the hole is in view<ok>

    I loved it until I had to give up. Last round was a 74 on The Isle Of Arran. Shortish 18 holer but it was blowing a gale so I retired at the top basically.
